Morphology
The noun is compositionally built from 'core' (a central/formed part) + 'blower' (a machine that produces airflow), so its basic meaning — a blower used with/for cores — follows normal English compound formation. While the exact foundry procedure (blowing sand into a core box) is technical, a B1 learner who knows both constituents can infer it is a machine that blows air for core-related work, making the expression transparent.
Etymology
Core blower is named for what it does in a metal workshop. It blows air to 'pack' sand into a core inside a mold box, and the name links blower (one that blows) with core (the sand shape), so it means 'a machine that uses air to pack sand cores for molds'.
